Hi All!Happy 2012!!!Recently I got up a new hobby of making clay animations!How they are made is truly simple (well most of the time);first all you have to do is set the scene.second, Create clay modelthird, snap a picture then move the object as little or as much as you like,four, Edit The Pictures into the program that you use ( i use windows movie maker) and set the frame rate!here are some of my animations i made using this.

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding: Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)

Well it took me 2-2.5 hours on my first animation (including editing)and it took 3-3.5 hours on my other animation 2 hours editing! and well the computer crashes after time so it was really frustrating So it really depends on how you take the photos, if you have lower frames per second it will only take a short time to make.My last video was 16 FPS which is why it took a long time to put together.Im going to make another animation soon (maybe tomorrow) that will be 16 Frames Per Second but a little bit longer.

Thank you! Our cats don't sit still or sleep long enough to be in an animation!bye!

My avatar is one of many calligraphies painted by my teacher. Mitra Bishop, Roshi. She has them for sale to try to raise money for her building project. Also, if you purchase books on Amazon, you can use Amazon Smile and put in Mountain Gate (In Ojo Sarco, NM) and a small % will go to the monastery.

He turns his mind away from those phenomena, and having done so, inclines his mind to the property of deathlessness: 'This is peace, this is exquisite — the resolution of all fabrications; the relinquishment of all acquisitions; the ending of craving; dispassion; cessation; Unbinding.' (Jhana Sutta - Thanissaro Bhikkhu translation)

Good stuff. With the sheep eating, it is the start of a new move: THE AUSTRALIAN BLOB. Next it needs to eat a wallaby, or even worse, a koala bear to show just how terrifying and heartless it really is.

I can see the sequels: THE BLOB VS THE DREADED DROP BEAR and THE BLOB VS THE HORRIFYING BUNYIP.
